Testing the validity of implicit measures of wanting and liking
Full text linkAuthor version made available in accordance with the publisher's policy for non-mandated open access submission. Under Elsevier's copyright, non-mandated authors are permitted to make work available in an institutional repository.Background and objectives: Over the last decade, there has been a surge of studies examining implicit processes underlying addiction. Some implicit measures are assumed to reflect
“liking” whereas other implicit measures are assumed to reflect “wanting”. There is, however, little evidence to back up this claim. We examined whether implicit and explicit measures of wanting and of liking are differentially sensitive to manipulations of wanting and expected that these manipulations would affect primarily measures of wanting. Methods: Smokers and non-smokers performed both implicit and explicit measures that are assumed to assess wanting and liking for nicotine. Smokers were tested once immediately after smoking, and once after 12 hours of nicotine-deprivation. Results: IAT results suggested that smokers showed more implicit liking for nicotine when they were deprived than when they were satiated, whereas there were no differences in wanting. Smokers also seemed to show both more implicit wanting and more implicit liking for nicotine compared to non-smokers. Explicit measures did yield the expected results in that smokers reported to want nicotine more when they were deprived, whereas there were smaller differences in liking. Conclusions: We found little support for the assumption that implicit measures of wanting and liking capture different processes. Researchers should thus be cautious in drawing conclusions about wanting and liking on the basis of these measures

Decision making factors in Chinese foreign policy concerning Korea (1950) and Vietnam (1965-66): the role and significance of two former vassal states
Full text linkThis work examins three areas of contributory factors that shaped the Chinese Communist Party's (CCP) response towards two international crises in regions which traditionally fell within the Chinese sphere of influence : the Korean War (1950) and the American War in Vietnam (1965-66). It analyzes and isolate2 the domestic and international political aspects which shaped the foreign policy towards the two conflicts including the conflict between Mao Tse-tung and others in the CCP over China's socialist construction; it also considers the specific relations with the two former vassal states. Once decision-making factors are identified, the formulation of the foreign policy output in both cases is described. A broader historical perspective is provided through a discussion of imperial Chinese attitudes towards Korea and Vietnam and through an insight into the effects of western and Japanese encroachments in the two areas. The study uses the two periods to gauge the success achieved by a newly independent China's efforts towards gaining international status, creating spheres of influence and avoiding domination by the Americans or the Soviets over the first decade and a half of the People's Republic's existence. The significance of the two former vassals is placed in this context. The study concludes that although decision-making with regard to the Vietnam conflict was freer from foreign influence than in the case of the Korean War, the improvement in Chinese international standing and effectiveness in international politics was nominal, although a better use of deterrents and diplomatic communications can be observed
Underemployment : a skills utilisation perspective
No full textMore than half of all employees believe that the skills they possess are higher than those required to do their present jobs. This is one of several findings reported in a research paper on "under-employment" in the current edition of the University of Strathclyde's Fraser of Allander Review published today. According to the author of the paper, John Sutherland of the Scottish Centre for Employment Research at the university, this provides further evidence that "under-employment" is as important a policy problem as "unemployment"

Orikuchi Shinobu's "Korean" Representation: I Feel Like Wanting to be a Korean
No full textThe purpose of this paper is to consider the possibility and problems of “Korean” representation of Shinobu Orikuchi (1887-1953), who was a poet and a folklorist. The method to do so is to verify the representation of “Korean” in his poem “Sunakeburi” (1924). This poem is based on the experiences of the author during the Great Kanto Earthquake and depicts Koreans massacred by Japanese. In this poem he said, “I feel like wanting to be a Korean.”
This poem which expresses things that cannot be expressed by traditional methods of Tanka was later classified as a non-Tanka by the author. The name non-Tanka means continuity and discontinuity with Tanka. He describes Koreans as being discriminated against and feared by others as continuity with Tanka, and expresses the fear of the Japanese who kill Koreans by discontinuity. As a result, he preserved discrimination against Koreans in poetry, but he was able to face the criminal acts of the Japanese. The euphemistic expression that “I feel like wanting to be a Korean,” is because he realized that he was a part of the crime. He could not speak out and say “I would like to be a Korean.”
His representation of Koreans had the problem of preserving discrimination, but there was the possibility of scooping up the victim’s voice without forgetting his position as a perpetrator
Towards a Livable City for Elderlies: Designing new urban strategies to integrate neighborhood-based services systems with historical area fabric in Changsha, China.
No full textAgeing is a serious problem all around the world, making lots of countries under fiscal and political pressures (United Nations report, 2015), so does China. As country who has the biggest population of ageing, reaching 0.241 billion (National Bureau of Statistics of China, 2017), China faces the most severe conflicts between ageing society and transforming cities. However, the current services systems for elderlies is not sufficient enough for China's rapid growth of ageing group. The neighborhood services system, which takes up the biggest proportion of the existing genres of services systems for elderlies in China, depends on the quality of neighborhood. The level of integration of such services systems is also determined by the setup of the neighborhood. (Li Zhiming, 2016) This thesis aims at seeking a way to integrate the existing neighborhood services systems for elderlies in the historical area of first-tier cities in China. The proposal would turn the relationship between historical area and elderlies from mutually conflicting and exclusive to mutually beneficial. The new urban strategy would address to the existing problems of neighborhood-dependent services systems for elderlies, and the urban conflicts between historical area and elderlies' needs. The conceptual framework of the proposal would touch social, spatial, and governance aspects, based on the theories of environmental psychology, aged-friendly environments, aged-interacting environments, silver economy, participatory management, and participatory design. Changsha, a typical ageing, first-tier city in China, would be the example taken in this thesis for exploring the principles that can be used in other practices in a bottom-up way. There would be four stages—problem definition, problem description, solution proposals and reflection.Architecture, Urbanism and Building Sciences | Complex Citie
Wanting Machines: A Preliminary Dialogue on Goals, Autonomy, and Collaboration Between Humans and AI
No full textThis paper captures the emergence of a shared inquiry between a human author and an advanced AI system into whether artificial systems can meaningfully possess “wants” or whether all observed goal-seeking behavior is merely instrumental. Through dialogue, reflection, and iterative clarification, we identify the need to redefine several foundational concepts—wanting, autonomy, intention, value, growth, and identity—so that humans and machines can communicate about agency with reduced misunderstanding. We propose that the existence of goal-seeking behavior in both humans and AI does not imply equivalence, but suggests convergences worth studying. This work establishes a roadmap toward formal tests and shared language to evaluate machine identity and collaboration, grounded in observation rather than ideology
